Chicken can be both.

- I prefer chicken to beef and pork. (uncountable)

- There are three chickens running around in my garden. (countable)

Chocolate is usually uncountable but can also be used as countable (esp. when small and wrapped).

- I love chocolate. (uncountable)

- Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you �re going to get. (countable)

Yoghurt is uncountable.

- My favourite is coconut yoghurt.

In spoken English, some people might use �yoghurts � when they mean pots of yoghurt.
